Chapter 1 : 856

The girl walked silently up to the top step and bowed slowly to the large golden throne before her. The God who sat upon the throne smiled warmly and nodded to the girl as she knelt down on the left side of his throne. The girl looked at the man on the throne and smiled, he was her father, the great sun God Ra. She gently thumbed the pendant on her necklace as she looked at him. The pendant was an Eye of Ra (like the Millennium eye) it was silver with a sapphire blue stone in the centre of the eye. Her Father had dark hair that framed his face and his golden crown. He had beautiful bright eyes and stern features that always softened when he looked at her. It made her feel special to him, which she was in his eyes: his only daughter Ansis, the Goddess of love, balance and light. She was beautiful and not just in his eyes, she had a long fringe which hid the right side of her face, and the rest of her hair was short and was spiked outwards at the back. Her hair was a deep crimson colour similar to the colour of blood. She had purple eyes shined bright and always lit up when she saw him. She ran her hand through her long fringe to move it out of her eyes and turned her head to see the doors of the throne room open, she narrowed her eyes as her half-brother Horus, God of the Sky's, entered.

He strode confidently into the centre of the room and bowed.

"My Lord Ra" his voice was deep but not comforting in any way.

"Speak" Ra's voice was deeper than Horus'; it was the true voice of a Ruler.

"My Lord, the Light of Earth's soul is pure and bright but is still broken. He has made no attempt to fix it as my sister Ansis said he would when we granted his Dark a body and life. We granted a year and soon that time will be up. The Dark one is needed here but he becomes less dark every day he spends with the Light, and will soon be useless to us. So we wish for your permission to extract his soul now before it is too late."

"You cannot have only one, brother." Ansis stood, glaring at her brother as she walked towards him. "I have seen your plan, take the Dark's life and the Light will take his own to follow. Then the Dark with a poisoned mind will raise The Army of the Dead, and drag the broken soul of his light in chains behind the chariot he will ride into battle against the living, as yourself and Anubis ride alongside him." Ansis stopped walking she was a few inches from her brother. He looked a little shocked that she knew his plan, he tried to look as confident as possible in front of Ra. "Am I right brother?"

"Prove it sister" Horus words dripped with venom and sarcasm.

"Yes Ansis" came her father's voice "this is quite an accusation. Are you sure?"

"Yes father, I am sure."

"Show me." Ansis nodded and raised her hand. A ball of light formed in her hand and once it was big enough, it showed the vision she'd had.

"Show me the Light now" Ra said after the vision was finished. Ansis closed her eyes to concentrate and the picture in the orb of light showed the Light with his Dark walking, talking and smiling together. Ansis smiled at the picture in front of her, they both seemed so happy together.

"My Lord" Horus's voice bombed and Ansis lost her concentration and the orb faded. "My Lord, we must act now, send me to extract the soul before he is of no use."

"NO" Ansis looked straight into her father's eyes. "Father please, there is still time." She thought for a moment, "Send me."

"WHAT! NO" Horus shouted.

"Yes." She spoke firmly and looked at her brother, then back to her father. "Send me father. Send me as a mortal. Allow me to prove the love I see between them. Please." She begged.

Ra thought about the idea. "Very well."

"My Lord please, I employ you to see reason" Horus spoke up. Pushing passed Ansis towards Ra.

"MY word is final." Ra bombed

"At least set a deadline for the task." Horus reasoned.

Ra considered and agreed. "Daughter you have until the second full moon of the second month to achieve your goal."

Ansis smirked and looked at her father. "February 14th. My birthday."

"Go now daughter. I must raise the sun." Ra smiled and departed in a flash of light.

"Thank you Father." She walked up the steps to the throne.

"I will enjoy watching you fail sister" Horus spat through his anger.

Ansis turned half way up the steps to meet her brother's eyes. "i will not fail brother... You will not have the Dark and his Light."

"ANSIS...!" Horus roared but Ansis smirked, raised her hand, clicked her fingered and disappeared.
